First United Methodist welcomes new pastor

ELKINS — First United Methodist Church has a new pastor, Brian Seders, as Dallas Forren, who served four years as pastor of the church, has retired.

Seders originally is from Weirton. He served more than 20 years as pastor in Clarksburg before taking the position at United Methodist.

“Elkins has been very welcoming; coming at me with open arms and offering to help with anything I need,” Seders said. “Praising God as it was his hands that led me to where I am. There are many years to look forward to here at United Methodist.”

Seders plans to build up the youth program, continue the path of outreaches and improve communication within the church.
